There was an attempt by the two men to give Ash some form of farewell before she left. They didn't manage a single word before the door closed. Alex having been confused as to her sudden rush, and Dean had only just gotten himself off the floor from his laughing fit. 

[color=deepskyblue][b]"I'm just gonna clean."[/b][/color] He went about the kitchen as various utensils and such were telekineticlly moved about with a practiced ease. Dean having only just brushed himself off and pushing the chairs back under the table before Alex spoke up while his back was turned. [color=deepskyblue][b]"Was she a brute or something? what was with the leaving bite marks on me comment?"[/b][/color]

Dean did his best to stay strong. He held it in so hard he curled in on himself and gently planted his forehead onto the table. [color=8dc73f][b]"No clue dude. Maybe she just thought you were a snack."[/b][/color] He had to quickly dance away from a few half-hearted bolts of blue energy lazily slapping into his previous location. [color=8dc73f][b]"It is a wonder how you are still single if you ask me."[/b][/color]

Alex flipped Dean the bird without turning around. [color=deepskyblue][b]"Could say the same to you Jackass."[/b][/color]

[color=8dc73f][b]"I'm just in no hurry, at least I'm not clueless when someone is being so obvious."[/b][/color] Dean stood still this time as more bolts came but didn't come anywhere close to him before fizzling out. Despite the banter, the air in the house couldn't be any more carefree now. finally felt normal again. Neither of them would hold it against her, but that Templar falling down here seemed to have kicked the proverbial hornets nest so bad it started a chain reaction that didn't seem to have calmed down entirely just yet. Even with the current mirth, there was an underlying tension. Word through the grapevine was that not all the other outer settlements had done as well as Shieldtown, the Forges, or Stoneworks. one of the smaller time Rogues was MIA, and two on the far side of the graves were out of commission. The Undercity proper wasn't that bad but that wasn't saying much given that there was apparently a resurgence in Ripper activity on top of new sighting from the Cult of Flesh. 

Dean gave the big guy a look and sighed to himself. Sometimes he wished he had just [initiated] Alex and help out . . . just a little. couldn't catch this mage dead wearing a costume. Even if they got Silver Fang back topside in the next few days there was still gonna be a mess down here. And Alex might start suffering from the fucking Haze he's been storing up on his own somehow. Still not gonna let himself go for not noticing that detail sooner. and a Hedge Mage is supposed to be always cautious and prepared.

That's when someone knocked on the door. [color=8dc73f][b]"Finally, someone with some manners. I swear if Ash somehow left something I'm gonna fucking laugh."[/b][/color] 

Alex cocked his head to the side to listen. [color=deepskyblue][b]"I think its Rat, You didn't leave the garage open did you? don't need him poking around in there. And I'm not making any more coffee or food for anybody today!"[/b][/color] He was only partially serious on that note though and Dean probably knew that.

[color=8dc73f][b]"No . . . No I did not. But i think there is someone else at the front door."[/b][/color] Dean made his way into the living room and turned towards to the front door. [color=8dc73f][b]"Just a sec."[/b][/color] He opened the door to find a rather striking and fairly intimidating woman standing at his front porch. Though given his history with dangerous women he wasn't all that phased. [color=8dc73f][b]"Sup, How can I help ya?"[/b][/color] Dean kept a hand in his pocket around a piece of his jade, but for the most part kept his usual lazy demeanor and leaned against the door frame. Luckily the kitchen and dining space were offset in another space to keep Alex, or Aegis if there was trouble, out of sight.
